SORACOM Inc. announces that Otsuka Warehouse Co., Ltd. has adopted the SORACOM IoT platform to jointly develop a warehouse intrusion detection system that utilizes cameras and generative AI. In the joint development, they used SORACOM Flux, a service that allows low-code development of IoT applications, to rapidly improve the intrusion detection system using generative AI.
Otsuka Warehouse handles the logistics of the Otsuka Group’s pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, daily necessities, etc. The company aims to realize “connected logistics” by using the power of digital technology to realize highly efficient warehouse and transportation operations that do not rely on traditional “experience and intuition.”
Starting this spring, Otsuka Warehouse has begun creating a system to visualize and centrally manage logistics sites nationwide in real time from its Tokyo headquarters. As an example of visualization, the company is co-developing a new “intrusion detection system using cameras and generative AI” with Soracom. The new intrusion detection system periodically captures still images from cameras installed in multiple locations within the warehouse, and when the generative AI detects a situation that corresponds to an intruder, it notifies the warehouse manager.

Previously, recordings were checked as needed, but by receiving notifications in a timely manner, warehouse safety and security can be improved and the quality of work can be enhanced. In addition, SORACOM Flux’s low-code development function makes it possible to define new detection conditions in natural language and easily tune generative AI models, making it possible to adjust detection accuracy and change definitions by location.
Otsuka Warehouse also plans to conduct research and development to use camera images and generative AI to analyze shipping operations to identify and prevent shipping errors.
SORACOM Flux is a service that helps people who are familiar with business and operations to use IoT and generative AI to realize ideas, thoughts, and innovations that are born in the field. SORACOM will continue to expand its functions based on market needs and customer feedback to support on-site DX.
